The Ancients, even with their knowledge of meditation, still had the practices of surgery and medicine. If you need something, don’t deny it thinking it can be solved solely through meditation. It will take lifetimes of soul development, and generations of better breeding, to advance to the point where the physical body can be perfected.
A lot of regular sickness is partly of the mindset. A lot of people give in to illness and wait for it to be over, but if they put their mind to it they can instantly reduce the symptoms to an extent and get through it better. You need to keep correcting your mindset though, and not let it slip into negative thinking. This is not to say that “positive thinking cures everything”, there is far more to it than that; the mind is powerful but we usually need other things to aid it.
Prana, the universal energy, is everywhere on Earth… but not as much as it used to be. Humans have caused a lot of damage to our planet: deforestation, concrete cities, dumping waste into our oceans, pollution, etc. If you go out in nature, there is prana everywhere. We don’t walk in “empty air”, it’s full of prana. Due to weakened genetics and toxicity and too many lifetimes/generations without true spiritual knowledge, most people are unable to absorb prana correctly. Practicing yoga and meditation will condition and prepare the body for this.
And unfortunately most food does not have the amount of prana it used to. Vegetables and fruit used to be filled with prana, but incorrect farming practices and chemical fertilization has greatly decreased this. Meat from animals that are kept all their lives in cramped cages is much weaker too.
The way we prepare food leaves it even weaker. Food is best cooked over open flame (in cooking utensils such as pots and pans or on a grilling rack, what matters is the open flame below it), this infuses it with fiery prana that aids digestion. Many people have illnesses that are caused from weak digestion now. The stomach needs hot food. If you keep putting cold food into it, you dampen its digestive power. Try to aim for 2 hot meals a day and only 1 cold, if that. Eat 3 hot meals a day cooked over open flame, and you will see your health improve and your strength increased. Those who have gone camping and cooked food over the fire pit, compare this to food cooked at home in your microwave. That being said, heating food in a microwave is better than nothing, and is generally better than eating food cold (the amount of radiation in microwaves may be harmful in the long run to some people, but generally not to most people).
If you can get a barbecue this is a good option, but if you live in an apartment complex you will have to check with regulations or risk being fined. If you have a fireplace (wood burning, not gas) or wood stove, you might need to make alterations to be able to cook on/in it, and of course do research to know what you are doing as there are techniques to it. Don’t go in blind and assume you know what you’re doing. Make sure to have your chimney cleaned regularly. For those who have flame stove-top and were thinking to modernize to electrical burners, you might want to keep the flame, it’s more potent. A lot of modernization is weakening us.
Going back to the previous mention of prana in nature. You’ll have heard mention of “nature spirits”, these are often associated with pockets of massive amounts of prana in certain areas. The bend of a river, a grove of trees, a singular hill are some examples. There is more prana here. If you need extra prana for healing, head to one of these. Breathe it in, through all sides of your body, through your skin (the largest organ in the body). Infuse all cells in your body with prana.
Those of you in large cities will have a harder time finding these, but in a park if there are a few trees together, prana will be there, but not the massive amount found in nature. Sit against a tree and draw the energy in through your feet (and back chakra extensions for those with more experience). However, try to feel the energy of the tree first before drawing it into you, because some trees are diseased or polluted especially in large cities. But in general, trees have unlimited prana, as their roots are in the Earth and they will draw up all they need and more. Do not do this to houseplants, only trees whose roots are in the Earth.
Speaking of prana in the Earth, our dear planet is suffering, but it can be restored. Our planet has natural rejuvenating powers, so it will recover well from various improvements we need to make to our civilization.
Chi (Qi) is another name for prana, and often refers to the energy in our bodies. Below are the Qigong routines for your organs, including your mouth. You can do all 5 of these for overall health and maintenance, or focus on the ones you need if you are suffering from a problem with one specific organ. The elements are a bit different than the 5 we are used to, but they still relate, just in a slightly different form. You don’t have to do these daily, even once a week will be good for maintenance, and they provide a nice stretch and gentle movement for the body.
Below are sounds and colors for the organs. You can do the Qigong practice first, then focus on the corresponding organ, breathe in the color or see it brightly lit up in the color, and make the sound. This is from TCM, and will help generate the correct energy in each organ, and keep them working optimally. Look at diagrams online for the organs, and don’t worry too much if you can’t get it perfect, this is an ability that comes in time. Softly focus on the approximate region and will the energy to go there.
For the sounds, carry it out for a full easy breath without straining. Take a normal inhale (80% lung capacity), and make the sound for the duration of the exhale (to about 20% of lung capacity). These sounds are soft, not like runic mantras. Do them gently like you are making a soothing sound, but in your natural voice. Start with just a few, perhaps one in each relating organ, and work up as you feel is correct. There is generally no need to do a lot, 6 is the recommended number.
If you do all these, do them in the order given below. You can do just one daily if needed. The video is linked in the element name for easy categorization.
Wood: Eyes, liver, gall bladder, tendons. The color is green, like a pure bright green that you see on leaves and trees. The sound is SHHH (like you are telling someone to be silent).
Fire: Heart, tongue, small intestine, blood vessels. The color is red, the sound is HAAWW, but do not vibrate the W like runic. It rhymes with the English word “awe”.
Earth: Lips, mouth (excluding tongue), stomach, spleen, pancreas, muscles. The color is yellow, the sound is HOOO, like HUUU, rhymes with the English word "who".
Metal: Skin, hair, nose, lungs, large intestine. The color is white, the sound is SSSS, a soft hissing not like runic. Like in the words "sea" and "secret".
Water: Ears, kidneys, bladder, bones. The color is dark blue, but still bright and pure, similar to sapphire blue. The sound is CHOOO, rhymes with the English word "chew".
(The sound for the Triple Warmer (the Dan Tiens) is HEEE, the color is clear, no video as of yet.)
(Sources for sounds and colors: Inner Smile and Six Healing Sounds Practices by Mantak Chia, other websites have them too for further reading.)
Ayurveda Doshas
Knowing your dosha, or doshas (most people are a blend of 2 or perhaps all 3, in varying amounts) will help with your health, knowing what foods, spices, and herbal supplements are best for you, and what you should consider avoiding. It will also show your imbalances and what foods will help bring your body back to a state of harmony.
The doshas are not just about the physical body, but also the mind.
Your dosha is not necessarily shown in your astrology chart. I’ve seen charts that are the complete opposite of their dosha. We have 4 elements in the chart, the doshas are a mix of all 5 elements divided into 3 doshas. Vata is Akasha and Air, Kapha is Earth and Water, Pitta is Fire and Water.
Go to this site and take the free test and it will lead you to pages of information. There are probably better quizes but I can’t test them all, if anyone knows of a better one let me know and I will link it. For quick reference, for diet: Vata, Pitta, Kapha.
May you all become healthier
